MPP+Induced Substantia Nigra Degeneration Is Attenuated in nNOS Knockout Mice

Recent studies showed that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) plays a role in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine neurotoxicity. In the present study we examined the effects of striatal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) on substantia nigra degeneration in mutant mice lackin...
